People have a difficult time grasping the concept of the cloud. As many ways as I’ve tried to explain where I work to friends and family, I am often asked, “Can you please explain what ‘the cloud’ even is?” Read the rest of this entry »
Sometimes a release is so major that we stop everything for a day and just celebrate our success.
Today is one of those super release days. In order to write this particular post I had to double up on my anxiety meds, because I am SO excited to talk to you about SpaceBox. I’ve always been fascinated with space, and I love to organize things into boxes, so how could combining the two be a bad thing?
Last week both Dan and I spoke at the AIIM 2012 Conference. Dan told the audience that paper is silly, and I spoke about how the Cloud is dead.

From time to time a user will ask us, “Who’s your competition?” Occasionally, a supposed competitor will spend their efforts comparing our product to theirs, and they’ll even throw money at Google to promote how they’re better. Read the rest of this entry »
Today is Super Tuesday! As images of polling places, hanging chads, and presidential pop art fly through your head, please don’t worry. I promise I’m not going to get on my liberal soapbox this afternoon. I’m not even going to ask you who you’re voting for and how you can be so crazy. That is not the super Tuesday to which I am referring.
In an article I wrote some months ago (you can check it out here), I talked about your options when sharing files between your local PC and a virtual machine in a CloudShare environment. But, what about sharing files between different virtual machines in your environment? Is that even possible? Of course it is!
In this article I will provide step by step instructions on how you can share files between virtual machines in your environment.
There are two major tools that everyone seems to be talking about in the content management world- Box and SharePoint. On my drive to work on the 101 in Silicon Valley, I actually pass dueling billboards for Microsoft and Box; it’s everything. Now, stop me if you’ve heard this story before:
The SharePoint 2010 platform has all the bells and whistles to do on-site document management, records management, auditing, invoice capture, and every other cliche on the platform. If it exists in the content management world, it probably exists somewhere based on SharePoint, and the growth is accelerating.
Your users either love SharePoint so much that it has sprawled out of control across your entire organization, or they hate it so much they refuse to use it, sticking with shared drives or cloud systems instead, and making your CIO seethe with rage. Read the rest of this entry »
You love Web Access, and we made it even better!
If you are not familiar with web access let me tell you a little about it. The Web Access feature allows you to share the web application on your CloudShare Pro virtual machines to anyone without giving them direct access to the virtual machine. The way it works is for all machines that have Web Access enabled we generate a unique URL that does not change. it will look something like this: http://uvoa98dbebf6c.env.cloudshare.com.
You won’t have to try too hard to imagine this scenario: you installed an application for a specific department to solve a certain task — let’s call it marketing automation and team sites in SharePoint. A few months later you come back to find that it has spiraled into dozens of other departments and the system is growing like an insatiable IT monster, set to consume all of your time and resources. And now the fun part: your executive team wants to know how people are using it and why your million dollar projects look and feel a lot like unmanaged shared drives. What do you do?

Editor’s Note- I have a Mac museum in my home, read my wedding vows from an iPad, and memorize every Apple keynote.
You have seen it on the bi-weekly release posts over and over, “Added support for Safari and iOS”, and now I am ready to tell you about it.
